Summary Introduction

To determine:

The internal anatomy of the flowering plant having leaves with netted veins.

Concept introduction:

Leaves are one of the most important organs of a plant. They are known as the “kitchen of a plant”. They are called so because they are the organs of a plant that makes food in the form large chains of glucose units called starch. This food is made with the help of photosynthesis which in turn is possible due to the presence of a green pigment called chlorophyll, present in the leaves.

As part of an experiment you are required to observe the external features of a fern. State what microscope would you use and give reasons why? You have been provided with a plant showing the rooting system and the stem with several leaves. Give SIX features that you will look for to determine whether this is a monocotyledonous plant or a dicotyledonous plant. Present your answer in a clear, logical manner. In an experiment students were given the following materials and apparatus: - juices from three local fruits; 4% glucose solution; Benedict's solution; test tubes, beakers, syringes and boiling water bath. Describe CLEARLY the procedure that can be used to estimate the amount of glucos present in each juice. Use numbered steps in your answer.
